В цифрах
The Patna High Court in India has directed that a First Information Report (FIR), or formal complaint, be filed against a police officer accused of breaking a man's legs. The victim, Manish Kumar, alleged that the former Station House Officer beat him mercilessly solely after learning his caste.
The court warned that if such acts of brutality against citizens are not curbed, the police force could become like "Nazi Germany." Justice Jitendra Kumar emphasized that if such behaviors are not brought under control, the rule of law and constitutional protections would collapse.
While the investigation of the incident has been transferred to the Crime Investigation Department (CID), it was revealed that the victim's written complaint to the police remained unresolved for a long time. The court ruled that since the alleged brutal act does not fall under the official duties of the police, permission is not required to initiate an investigation.
